That is madness. Wait until the first serious injury and he will burn out soon after that.
He will be fine. Virtual school makes it easier to have two sessions a day. One at 8:30 am and the next at 5:30 pm. He likes it
+1 NP. If my kid were in virtual school, this doesn't seem as bad. Kids should get an hour of physical activity daily anyway (not virtual PE). So a teen playing soccer while sitting home all day otherwise- this is doable.

I think many studies will find whatever they set out to find, especially studies that are paid for by an entity with an interest in that outcome.
Meanwhile, let them do what they want. But be careful of overtraining physically and not letting the body rest and heal. I.e. don’t do heavy lifting or sprints or long runs every day. But juggling, foot skills, etc can be done daily as that does not tax the body as much.
